WASAMAC Project

Our team was commissioned by Yamana Gold (now Agnico Eagle) to publish an updated 43-101 Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve and to make a major contribution to the updated NI 43-101 Feasibility Study.

We also carried out a comprehensive geomechanical field campaign, optimized the stopes, did the mine design, the detailed mine plan, and completed the underground engineering, including the infrastructures and services distribution.
